本学期课后练习段落翻译参考译文1册7单元When I was young I used to visit the zoo in my hometown. There what attracted me most was a couple of tigers, especially the male.

Moving around now were six tigers, old and young, instead of two!8单元This morning I heard an interesting piece of news over my portable radio: a man of 36 and his son of 10 attend the same class competing with each other for high marks.

Unit 1攻势已经持续了三天,但是我们并没有取得多少进展。

师长命令我们营夜晚绕到敌人后方发起突然袭击.然而，要绕到敌人后方,我们必须越过一片沼泽地。

我们很多人担心会陷入泥潭之中。

我们营长决定冒一下险。

所幸由于寒冷天气沼泽地都结上了冰，我们于天亮前到达目的地并从敌人后方发起进攻。

这一下扭转了战局。

敌人没有戒备，不就便投降了。

The offensive had lasted three days, but we had not gained much ground. The division commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy at night and launch a surprise attack。

To do this we have to cross a marshland, and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble. Luckily enough, thanks to the severely cold weather which had made the marshland freeze over, we arrived our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear。

This had turned the tide of the battle。

The enemy, caught off guard, soon surrendered。
